Hello Chris, after your email I checked again, more thoroughly this time. It appears to work sometimes, but it's not really stable. So far I need to disable the touchpad because resting the hand on the screen will cause the mause to go crazy, no matter whether the pen is touched down or not. So after all: No, it doesnt work. If I deliberately and carefully test it with one finger, but when I use it in practice, it doesnt work. It would already help if the driver could destinguish between a fully layed down hand and a real two finger gesture. Is that possible or does the device not provide enough data for making such a distinction? > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > WhatsUp Gold - Download Free Network Management Software > The most intuitive, comprehensive, and cost-effective network > management toolset available today.
